In 1920, at age 31, he married Maria Antonia, then aged 25, and they had four daughters and a son. She died in 1990, aged 95.

She was born in Ala, Trentino, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. World War I forced her to take refuge in Bazzano, Bologna. After the war, she moved to Milan, where she took Italian citizenship and met her future husband Isidoro Papo. During the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the couple moved to Nice, France, to escape the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini. They married in France, and after the war they moved back to Milan. Upon retirement in 1964, they settled in Verona. Mr. Papo died in 1981. Pizzinato remained in Verona for the rest of her life, spending her final years in a retirement home."Farewell to Venere Pizzinato, the oldest woman in Europe" - Excite Magazine

A nun known as Mother Cecilia, she lived in Canada and France before settling in Rome. She lived at the Convento di Gesù e Maria from 1958 until her death, and was considered "the world's oldest nun". Gaudette died on 13 July 2017, aged 115 years and 110 days.

The family arrived in Rio de Janeiro and took another ship to Espírito Santo, where Venturotti worked on plantations. He would later go on to work as a driver and, starting in the 1940s, in a fabric store. He married Dulcina Gama (born 1921) on 15 March 1946 and had four children. The couple later moved to São Paulo, and 29 years later to Florianópolis. He became the oldest Italian-born person upon the death of Ida Zoccarato on 16 January 2022.
